Astrantia ‘White Button’ is an elegant perennial that brightens the garden with its delicate white flowers and long flowering season. Blooming throughout summer, it brings freshness and light to borders while blending effortlessly with both soft pastel and richer planting schemes.
Each flower has the distinctive Astrantia form, with a finely detailed pincushion centre surrounded by papery, star-shaped bracts. The crisp white blooms stand out beautifully against the green foliage, adding texture and a calm, natural feel to the garden.
Growing in tidy clumps, ‘White Button’ is perfect for cottage gardens, woodland-style planting and mixed perennial borders. Its graceful flower stems weave naturally between neighbouring plants, helping to create a relaxed and layered display.
The flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators and are excellent for cutting. They also dry well, making them a lovely addition to dried flower arrangements.
For the best performance, plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Easy to grow and wonderfully reliable, Astrantia ‘White Button’ provides months of elegant flowers and is a superb choice for naturalistic planting.
